ON THE COVER

Northwestern State softball might have just five upperclassmen, but two all-conference pitchers in Micaela Bouvier and Mikayla Brown will lead a team with Southland Conference title hopes. Both Bouvier and Brown were first-team all-conference pitchers in 2015, and both have had to overcome injury in attempt to regain that form. Sidney Salmans and Kaylee Isenburg will spearhead an offense chocked full of sophomores with game experience as NSU attempts to find a championship formula.

2018 PREVIEW

Northwestern State returned to the Southland Conference Tournament in 2017 after missing in 2016. Now NSU will attempt to win more one-run games to improve a 23-33-1 record.

A veteran pitching staff that’s finally healthy paired with a young but subtly experienced offensive lineup. That’s one way to look at the Northwestern State softball team, which opens its season Friday with No. 10 Baylor in a three-game series. The Lady Demons play Friday at 6 p.m. with a doubleheader Saturday at 2 p.m. The youngsters -- seven of the preseason starting eight field position players are freshmen or sophomores -- are bringing new energy with fierce competition for those starting spots. The old heads -- senior centerfielder Sidney Salmans, senior pitcher Michaela Bouvier and junior Mikayla Brown are among five upperclassmen -- have a wealth of knowledge as well as postseason honors. Northwestern State, who is attempting to build on a Southland Conference Tournament appearance in 2017 after missing the tournament in 2016, is anticipating that this combination of young and old will push the team to improve early in the season and peak in conference play. “Everybody couldn’t wait to get back and start spring practice, and we’ve been productive so far,” said NSU coach Donald Pickett, who’s 241 wins in nine seasons is four shy of breaking NSU’s all-time program record (Rickey McAlister). “We could have as many as seven to eight freshmen and sophomores playing at the same time, but the sophomores did get a lot of experi-

ence this past season. “Salmans plays a huge leadership role on the team, and Brown and Bouvier can control the game from inside the circle.” IN THE CIRCLE Softball starts in the circle, and that’s where the inherent strength of NSU lies. Both Brown and Bouvier have been Southland Conference first-team selections (2015), and both are healthy at the same time in 2018. Brown recovered from a torn ACL suffered in 2016, and she eased her way back in 2017 with a 16-14 record. Bouvier (0-2) made just six starts in 2017 after battling offseason shoulder surgery, but she says she’s throwing pain-free on the eve of her final season. “Bouvier is ready to go opening weekend, and right now she’s responding really positively to the throwing she’s done over the break and in practice,” Pickett said. “Her and Brown are healthy together for the first time since 2015. “Brown has been building confidence through last season and definitely into this year. I’ve seen it this fall -- she’s moving the ball better and not trying

NSU has 14 letterwinners (5 upperclassmen) returning from its 2017 team. But seven of its nine sophomores (then freshmen) started at least 17 games this past season

to overthrow.” NSU will feature another quality it hasn’t had in the past couple of seasons -- pitching depth. UT Arlington transfer Mariah Denson and sophomore Hayley Barbazon (2-2) have collegiate seasons under their belt, while freshmen E.C. Delafield and Ryann Bizette have shown promise this fall. “With that depth, we have a chance to be very competitive. This is the depth we’ve needed the past couple of years,” Pickett said. “Going six deep, it doesn’t put too much pressure on one kid. “It takes a staff to reach the goals we want to reach. We should be fresh and not overworked.” IN THE FIELD Fans won’t see the familiar faces of Kellye Kincannon, Brittney Jones and Micayla Sorosiak in the lineup. But that doesn’t mean the Lady Demons won’t have some juice. The senior Salmans leads off after a season in which she hit near .300 and made the All-SLC Preseason Second Team. Salmans will patrol centerfield flanked by two younger outfielders in sophomore Julie Rawls and a combination of junior Kayla Roquemore or sophomores Elise Vincent or Madelyn Matt. Rawls and Vincent combined to start 50 games at various positions in 2017 with Matt and Roquemore appearing in 62 games (mostly as pinch runners) with Matt’s four starts. The freshman Delafield is also pushing for outfield time, bringing a

powerful bat to the lineup. “We’re going to have more team speed than the past couple of years,” Pickett said. “We’re going to put runners in motion and do different things in that part of the game. “We’re more consistent one through nine in our lineup, and I think we can still hit for power despite losing those power bats to graduation. A consistent offense is what I’m looking for.” In the infield, every projected starter will be in a new position. Barbazon takes over first base as a speedy slapper who can find the gaps for extra bases. Freshman Cayla Jones has a stranglehold on second base and can add pop to the lineup. Sophomore Adele Vincent is the opening day starter at shortstop after making 25 starts at third base in 2017. Sophomore Sidney Harris will make her first collegiate start when she stands in at third base. Harris appeared in nine games with five at-bats as a freshman. Sophomore catcher Emma Hawthorne (18 RBIs) will manage the pitching staff after getting 52 starts behind home plate in her first season. “By the end of the season, I think we’ll be faster defensively than we’ve been,” Pickett said. “We’ll need a chance to play together and get more comfortable with each other. “The competition at a lot of positions impacted us positively, and it’s great that these girls have good team chemistry together. We just want to get a little better each day.”

DONALD PICKETT

Head Coach 10th Season Overall (241-241-1) 10th Season at NSU

Donald Pickett guided the Northwestern State program back to the Southland Conference Tournament in 2017, marking his fourth trip in the last five seasons and fifth visit in his nine NSU campaigns. Senior Kellye Kincannon captured four career hitting marks with fellow senior Brittney Jones owning another career mark under Pickett’s offensive tutelage. NSU has enjoyed an offensive resurgence under Pickett as six major NSU offensive career records are held by players in the Pickett era. Six of Pickett’s first nine seasons have resulted in winning or even records, and Pickett enters his 10th season with winners in four of his last five campaigns. Pickett rebuilt NSU softball into a perennial Southland Conference championship contender by winning three league titles between 2013-15. The Lady Demons won an SLC regular season title in 2015 and conference tournament championships with corresponding NCAA Tournament appearances in 2013 and 2014. The regular season conference title is NSU’s first since 2000. From 2013-15, NSU posted a 106-55 record (.658), the second-best winning percentage in any three-year window in program history. The 2015 team had the best conference season of any NSU softball squad, posting a 22-3 league record to finish 36-18. The top-seeded Lady Demons fell in the championship game of the conference tournament, preventing three straight NCAA appearances. Freshman pitcher Mikayla Brown was named SLC Pitcher of the Year, joined on the first-team all-conference list by redshirt freshman pitcher Micaela Bouvier, senior third baseman Brittany Virgoe, senior designated player Cassandra Barefield, sophomore first baseman Brittney Jones and sophomore outfielder Kellye Kincannon (SLC Softball Student-Athlete of the Year). For his efforts, Pickett was named SLC Coach of the Year for the second time (also winning in 2013. A total of 20 players have been selected to the All-SLC first or second teams in Pickett’s tenure. In 2013 and 2014, NSU stormed to SLC Conference tournament titles with records of 40-15 and 30-22, respectively. In 2014, the Lady Demons appeared in a regional with No. 13 Baylor, Houston and Tulsa. NSU nearly knocked off Houston in a 7-6 loss. Nine Lady Demons were named to the All-Southland squads with six being selected for the All-Louisiana team. Tara McKenney and Kincannon became the first NSU players in more than 10 years in 2014 to earn All-South Region honors from the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

In 2013, Northwestern State found itself in similar circumstances. As they did in 2014, the Lady Demons took second place in the regular season after a hot finish to the season. The squad made an NCAA Tournament appearance in the Baton Rouge Regional and played a nail-biter against Super Regional qualifier UL Lafayette. Pickett was voted Coach of the Year honors on the 2013 All-Louisiana softball team and five Lady Demons were included on the All-Louisiana Team. The 2013 haul of accomplishments included the best winning percentage in the program’s history (.727), the longest winning streak (11) since 1998, the fewest losses (15) since 1983 and the best 20-game start (16-4) since 1990.

Head coach Donald Pickett has led NSU to three Southland Conference titles in the last five years -- two tournmaent titles (2013-14) and one regular season (2015).

While restructuring the NSU softball program, he led the charge to provide a reconstructed Lady Demon Softball Complex. The stadium hosted the 2013 and 2015 SLC tournaments. Before helping establish a new program at Memphis (2006-08) as an assistant, he worked at a pair of highly successful programs in Tennessee-Chattanooga (2001-05) and Chattanooga State Community College 1998-2000). Pickett helped UT-Chattanooga to three NCAA Tournament appearances and the brink of a Women’s College World Series berth. At Chattanooga State, Pickett was part of a staff that led the team to three top-five finishes in the NJCAA along with three regional and conference championships. Working for five seasons under coach Frank Reed at Chattnooga, Pickett helped the Mocs advance within one win of the World Series. The Mocs had an overall 210-126 record while picking up three Southern Conference championships before Pickett joined coach Wendy Thees at Memphis following the first year of softball for the Tigers. Also serving as assistant to Reed at Chattanooga State CC for three seasons, Pickett helped post a 151-27 record, including a 62-3 mark in 2001. A year earlier, Pickett was part of the National Fastpitch Coaching Staff of the Year, and in 2002, Pickett was part of the Chattanooga State team that was inducted into the Chattanooga Sports Hall of Fame. A 2005 Chattanooga graduate, Pickett is regarded as an excellent recruiter whose expertise coaching hitting and defense is recognized nationally. Coaching and administrative colleagues of Pickett’s were effusive in their praise. In Pickett’s first season as assistant coach at his alma mater, the 2001 Lady Mocs opened the season with back-to-back no-hitters and knocked off top-25 teams in Ohio State and Baylor, rolling to a 44-15 record while never dropping more than two games in a row. The Lady Mocs posted two upset wins over top-seeded and No. 12 ranked Florida Atlantic in the NCAA Regionals. UTC then just missed capturing a berth in the World Series after narrow losses to Georgia Tech and Florida State. “There may not be a better fundamental coach out there,” said UTC’s Reed. “He is a good person, the type of person your family would like to be associated with, and he is

perhaps one of the most ‘up and coming’ young coaches out there right now.” Donald is married to Paige Pickett, and Pickett family welcomed a new child Jacob Dean into the world in 2016. Jacob joins older sister Ainsley Elizabeth (9), who was born in Natchitoches in 2009.

AMY HOOKS

Assistant Coach Sixth season at NSU University of Texas, 2011

Amy Hooks has proven her value as she enters her sixth season as assistant coach with the Northwestern State softball program. Hooks has been on staff for all four of NSU’s Southland Conference Tournament appearances in the last five seasons, and the Lady Demons blasted away program records in the process. She works closely with the infield and catchers while also putting together NSU’s annual softball banquet fundraiser. Hooks helped tutor Kellye Kincannon and Brittney Jones, who combine for five NSU career hitting marks and multiple All-Southland Conference and All-Louisiana appearances. Those seniors ended their career with a return to the league tournament. In 2016, NSU hit 56 home runs, which ranks third in program history, en route to a 27-25 record that included wins against a receiving votes Mississippi State, Big 12 member Oklahoma State and a powerful Texas State squad. Hooks was part of NSU’s resurgence from 2013-15, including the second-best three-year window in program history with a 106-55 record (.658 winning percentage). That stretch is highlighted by a regular season Southland Conference champion-

KAYLEE GUIDRY

Assistant Coach Fourth season at NSU (3rd as asst. coach) Northwestern State, 2014

Hometown.............................................................Walker, La. High School..........................................................Walker High College........................................... Northwestern State, 2014

Kaylee Guidry is in her third year as the pitching coach with Northwestern State following one season as the director of operations. Guidry helped Mikayla Brown return to the circle following an ACL injury the previous season. Brown posted a 16-14 record with five shutouts in 2017 as she continues to gain confidence. That 2017 staff sorely missed pitcher Micaeala Bouvier, who appeared in just nine games because of injuries. Guidry aided in the development of Katelyn Boles and Haley Barbazon on a patchwork staff that should be much deeper in 2018. The NSU pitching staff faced turmoil early in 2016 with Brown’s injury, but Guidry prepared Bouvier and Shelby Sells to step in as the Lady Demons started 16-5. Guidry is no stranger to the circle as she finished her two-year NSU career as one of the most decorated pitchers in program history. The two-time All-Southland Conference performer owns the program’s best winning percentage (.727). posting a 24-9 mark after transferring from LSU-Eunice. As a senior in 2014, Guidry was named the Southland Conference All-Tournament MVP after posting three straight wins in the tournament. She allowed just nine hits and two earned runs over 17 1/3 innings pitched vs. Central Arkansas and McNeese State (twice) to help send NSU to its second consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Walker, La., native earned wins in 10 straight decisions between April 13 and May 11, including the Southland Conference Tournament championship game. She finished the 2014 season with a team-leading 12-5 record and 3.71 ERA in 20 starts. She held hitters to a staff-low .224 batting average while throwing 10 complete games. Guidry was the Southland Conference Pitcher of the Week on May 5 and was honored as an All-Southland Conference Second-Team Selection. Other accolades include being a second-team selection to the LSWA All-Louisiana Collegiate Softball Team in addition to being a second team Southland Conference All-Academic member. In her first season in 2013, Guidry posted a 12-4 record behind an impressive 2.06 ERA. Her 1.02 ERA at the conclusion of the regular season was best among Southland pitchers. She earned All-Southland Second-Team honors for her efforts. Guidry’s mother played softball at UL Lafayette and had her jersey retired, while her aunt Nancy Percle (Ensminger) and aunt Claudia Percle (Gremillion) played softball at NSU. Nancy was inducted into the Graduate “N” Club Hall of Fame in 2012.

TARA MCKENNEY Volunteer Coach

Tara McKenney enters her third season as a volunteer assistant the Northwestern State softball staff after starting for the Lady Demons each of her four seasons (2011-14). McKenney fired up players with her youthful presence as NSU reached its fourth Southland Conference Tournament in the last five seasons. She works in marketing at the local Bank of Montgomery but manages to attend practices and games. McKenney, mostly an infielder but filled in as an outfielder, dots the NSU record books. The Red Oak, Texas, native finished her career third NSU’s all-time career list in runs scored (133), hits (246), triples (14) and fourth in assists (332). McKenney led NSU in hitting the last two seasons, including a .392 average as a senior, which ranks fourth all-time for single-season marks. She was named All-Southland Conference second team and All-SLC tournament in her last two seasons. McKenney added to that list as a senior with All-Region and All-Louisiana honors. McKenney was a key piece in the foundation of Northwestern State’s recent success. The four-year starter was a member of NSU’s NCAA Tournament teams in 2013 and 2014 after helping coach Donald Pickett to his first winning season at NSU in 2011 with a 32-25 record in her freshman season. One of McKenney’s finest moments came in the SLC Tournament championship game against McNeese State in which she batted 4-for-4, scoring four runs and driving in another to send the Lady Demons to their second straight NCAA Tournament.

A 2015 graduate of Washington State in exercise science, Potoshnik spent the early part of 2016 as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Washington sports performance complex.

Well into its sixth decade of service, the Southland Conference continues to be a model of innovation, stability and consistent achievement as it celebrates the academic and athletic accomplishments of its member institutions and approximately 4,200 student-athletes. Having commemorated its 50th anniversary in 2013, the Southland Conference has transformed itself into a dynamic and respected consortium of 13 member universities in three states. Beginning with a historic meeting of five institutions in Dallas on March 15, 1963, the Southland Conference set on an extraordinary course that has proven successful well into the 21st Century. The successful transformation continues, as the Southland Conference welcomed four additional members in 2013: Abilene Christian University, Houston Baptist University, the University of Incarnate Word in San Antonio, and the University of New Orleans. In addition to its newest members, the Southland also consists of the University of Central Arkansas, Lamar University, McNeese State University, Nicholls State University, Northwestern State University, Sam Houston State University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Stephen F. Austin State University and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. An original Southland member from 1963-73, Abilene Christian rejoined the league as one of the most decorated athletic programs in NCAA history, and the addition of Houston Baptist, UIW and New Orleans gives the Southland a regular competitive presence in the key metropolitan areas of Houston, San Antonio and New Orleans. Southland cities encompass approximately 14 million people, and six of its television markets rank among the top 100 in the U.S. All told, the membership of the Southland encompasses nearly 140,000 current students and an alumni base of nearly 800,000. Famous alums from current Southland Conference schools include former CBS news anchor Dan Rather (Sam Houston State), NBA executive Joe Dumars (McNeese State), ABC news anchor Robin Roberts (Southeastern Louisiana), Major League Baseball star Wade Miley (Southeastern Louisiana), NBA legend Scottie Pippen (Central Arkansas), and track and field Olympians Kenta Bell (Northwestern State), and Bobby Morrow and Billy Olson (both Abilene Christian).

Micaela Bouvier (2015-Present) threw Northwestern Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first no-hitter against a conference opponent in more than 10 years when she blanked Lamar on March 27, 2015. The freshman walked two and struck out two in seven innings. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first freshman to throw a no-hitter since Crista Miller in 2001.

Crista Miller (2001-2004) threw a total of five no-hitters during her career at Northwestern State. Included in those five were four perfect games. Miller had a perfect game in each of her four seasons at NSU.

RETIRED JERSEYS NO. 3 GINGER CRAIG

NO. 27 RHONDA RUBE

Ginger Craig was a standout at the plate at Northwestern State, playing from 1985-88. She set 10 career hitting records, one of which still remains (triples-18). She also holds individual season records for batting average (.428) and slugging percentage (.783). She was the first Louisiana Athletic Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association Player of the Year and was the Gulf Star Conference Most Valuable Player in 1987. She also played two seasons (1984-86) for the Lady Demon basketball team.

Rhonda Rube remains the most highly decorated player in Northwestern State softball history. She is the only player to ever earn All-American honors, third team (1991). She set four career hitting records including hits, doubles, batting average, and walks. She was a three-time Louisiana Athletic Directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association Player of the Year and a four-time All-Southland Conference pick, three first-team selections and one second team.

A LOOK BACK AT 2017

NSU had encourgaing results against some of its top competition in 2017 and rallied to make the Southland Conference Tournament in 2017.

After missing the Southland Conference Tournament in 2016, a determined veteran group wanted to make sure Northwestern State’s name would be on the tournament bracket in 2017. The Lady Demons (23-33-1, 12-15 SLC) accomplished that feat by earning the No. 6 seed, rallying in the latter stages of conference play by winning three straight conference series. NSU won two-of-three against Incarnate Word, Southeastern and the eventual No. 3 seed Nicholls. Outfielder Sidney Salmans (SLC Second Team All-Academic) helped secure that series win with a walk-off single in the series opener. NSU went 1-2 in the Southland Conference Tournament, edging Sam Houston State in an elimination game before a bizarre 7-4 loss to host Central Arkansas. The Bears took a 4-0 lead in the top half of the first inning as NSU pitchers struggled to grip the ball before officials called for a rain delay. Despite making the conference tournament, the Lady Demons suffered their first losing season since 2012. NSU featured powerful hitters such as Kellye Kincannon and Brittney Jones, who finished with a combined six program records with multiple other top-three finishes. Kincannon owns career marks in slugging percentage (.713), RBIs (186), total bases (447) and is tied in home runs (53). Jones holds walks (102) and fielding percentage (.990). Kincannon and fellow senior Jordan Rains were named to the Southland Conference Third Team for their efforts with Rains picking up a second-team pick for All-Louisiana at third base.

NSU proved it could raise its level to compete with the best. The Lady Demons tied No. 1 Florida 3-3 in the fifth inning of an eventual loss and took another WCWS participant Baylor to extra innings in a loss. The Lady Demons trailed eventual champion Oklahoma 1-0 in the sixth inning of a 3-0 loss. NSU also scored wins against NCAA Tournament participants Louisiana Tech, Florida International and Power 5 member Maryland. NSU also handed SLC champion McNeese (NCAA Tournament team) one of its three conference losses and could have won the series by winning an extra-inning affair in which pitcher Katelyn Boles had a no-hitter through 6 2-3 innings. A lack of pitching depth meant much of the burden fell on Boles and Mikayla Brown, who was recovering from an ACL tear. Reliable starter Micaela Bouvier played sparingly with a shoulder injury. Boles (5-15, 5.54 ERA) and Brown (16-14, 4.03 ERA) each had bright spots in their seasons along with struggles with consistency. The offense dealt with the same issues as no hitter reached the .300 mark. Salmans led the team with a .291 average among regular hitters with 34 runs scored. Along with competing with the best, NSU struggled in other spots. Lamar swept NSU to begin the conference season, and the Lady Demons didn’t have a sweep all season. NSU also lost a series to a Houston Baptist team that didn’t make the conference tournament. NSU went 8-11 in games decided by one run or in extra innings. Overall, NSU had seven freshmen and sophomores start at least 17 games along with its four senior starters.

Dr. Chris Maggio Northwestern State President

Chris Maggio is a competitor for all seasons. Northwestern State’s new president was an all-sports athlete in high school, a college distance runner at NSU, and a high school football, basketball and track coach. He became a college coach in track and field for the Demons and Lady Demons. He even spent a few years as a high school basketball referee. Today, you can find him making early-morning runs, and you might see him on the tennis courts. He’s made memorable putts in scramble tournaments at Demon Hills Golf Course. His zeal for competition makes him a dynamic recruiter and fund raiser for NSU, and his ability to mentor staff U N I V E R S I T Y A D M I N I S T R AT I O N members and students comPresident: bined with his warmth and . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Vice President for Technology, Innovation and Economic Development: Dr. Maggio was appointed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Darlene Williams as acting president of Northwestern State effective January 1, and named to the position permanently May 4 after a national search. He succeeded Dr. Jim Henderson, whose dynamic tenure spearheaded significant growth and achievement in two years as president. Henderson moved up to run the University of Louisiana System, which includes Northwestern and eight other state universities. Maggio, 53, is a lifelong resident of Natchitoches and long-time faculty and staff member at Northwestern State. He is the university’s 19th president since its founding in 1884, and the first one who is homegrown, along with the first to be a four-year athletic letterwinner as a Demon competitor. Maggio was named vice president for the student experience at Northwestern State last September after serving as interim vice president for just over a year. He maintained his role as vice president for the student experience while serving as acting president. When the NSU Student Services building opened a couple of years ago, designers had a lovely office location for Maggio on the second floor. He asked instead for the room just inside the front door to the building, not connected to any administrative wing, but envisioned as a conference space. His reasoning: Maggio wanted to see everybody who walked in the door, and providing the ability to immediately engage them or at least be easily accessible for anyone who needed help. As vice president, Maggio led the Dean of Students and the Offices of Admissions, Recruiting, Financial Aid, Student Activities and Organizations, First Year Experience and Leadership Development, Judicial Services, Counseling and Career Services, Student Life, the Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Student Support Services, and Greek Life. Northwestern State has recorded enrollment increases for the past two years, including a school-record number of 10,572 students in the Fall 2017 semester. That mark comes one year after Maggio and his staff helped deliver a 7-percent increase from the Fall 2015 semester to the Fall 2016 term. Maggio served as assistant vice president of external affairs for university ad-

vancement from 2013 until 2015, when he was promoted by Dr. Henderson. He has been a staff member at Northwestern State since 1988, when he joined the track and field coaching staff. After several years as director of admissions and recruiting during record-setting enrollment for NSU, Maggio was selected as director of alumni affairs in 1999, director of alumni and development in 2003, executive director of the NSU Foundation in 2005 and Dean of Students and assistant provost for student success in 2007. During his career at NSU, Maggio also served as director of enrollment services. Under Maggio’s leadership, the NSU Foundation completed its first capital campaign in Northwestern’s history, exceeding a campaign goal of $18.84 million and raising $31 million to support the university. He has also been a faculty member in the Department of Health and Human Performance for more than 20 years as an instructor, assistant professor and associate professor. Maggio came on board the NSU staff in 1988 as assistant track and field coach, then became head women’s coach a year later. After a very successful five years in that capacity, in 1994 Maggio moved into administration as the fundraiser for NSU Athletics before quickly being snapped up to become the university’s director of admissions and recruiting. Maggio is a 1985 summa cum laude graduate of Northwestern State. He won Gulf Star Conference All-Academic honors in track and field and helped the Demons win the 1985 GSC championship. As a senior, he was elected Mr. NSU by his fellow students. Maggio earned his master’s of education at NSU. He received a doctorate in developmental education from Grambling State University. His parents helped run a family business in Natchitoches. His father, Buddy, was honored as a “Natchitoches Treasure” in 2015 by the City of Natchitoches. As a young boy, Maggio became playmates with future Basketball Hall of Fame member Joe Dumars, whose home was near one of the Maggio’s stores. Dr. Maggio’s wife, Jennifer, was formerly on the NSU staff as Coordinator of Adult Education Initiatives. They have three children, Melanie, Scott, and Emily. Emily is a high school student at St. Mary’s Catholic School of Natchitoches, while her older siblings attend other colleges.

Jerry Pierce

Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 52nd year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 27th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep Northwestern athletics competing at a championship level week after week, month after month and year after year. Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a member of USTA teams that have won more than a dozen state championships, five regional titles and one national championship. Well before moving into the executive position, Pierce had already served his alma mater, adopted hometown and state with distinction. In his role as vice president, he NSU Athletic Council oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Chris Maggio in governJody Biscoe (Chair) mental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as Hall Adams Kwan Adkins (Student-Athlete) he worked under six previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from Angela Bolton NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. Sid Hall A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager Aaron Johnson for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with Damon Jones legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce Dr. Theresa Kyzar went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter Lori LeBlanc and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. Chris Lyles In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned Jacqueline Manza to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau di(Student-Athlete) rector two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, Dr. Jim Mischler alumni affairs and other areas through the years. Christie Price He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Ex-Officio Members Greg Burke Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity Caitlin McCanna founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He estabDustin Eubanks lished annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades Roxanne Freeman later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice Dr. Chris Maggio president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. Dr. Patrice Moulton He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans Dr. Vicki Parrish America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I staJerry Pierce tus in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a retired teacher and also a tennis buff, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, 28, and Miranda, 17; and two great-grandchildren; he has two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie. He’s a doting “Poppy” to Natalie’s preschool daughters.

Greg Burke Director of Athletics The Burke File

AGE: 61 (Born Oct. 22, 1956) • HOMETOWN: Alliance, Ohio • HIGH SCHOOL: Marlington ’74 • COLLEGE: Mt. Union ’78 (cum laude) POSTGRADUATE: Kent State ’86 • BEFORE HE WAS A.D.: Sports writer, Alliance (Ohio) Review, 1972-78; director of news and sports information, Hiram (Ohio) College, 1978-85; administrative intern, NSU athletics, 1985-86; director, NSU Athletic Association, 1986-92; director of athletic development, University of Akron, 1992-96; director of athletics, Northwestern State, 1996-present. BIG FAN OF: Cleveland Browns, Indians and Cavaliers • INTERESTS: Working out, watching ESPN and VH1 Classic, family outings.

Beginning his 22nd year as director of athletics at Northwestern State, Greg Burke is highly regarded far past the 318 area code due to the work he’s done in his adopted hometown. Burke, a native Ohioan and avid fan of all Cleveland pro sports teams, has been the Demons’ athletics director since Aug. 29, 1996, when his first day included speaking at the annual NSU/ Independence Bowl Kickoff Luncheon. Burke is the longest serving AD at any Louisiana or Southland Conference institution, and is believed to be the longest-serving AD in state history. He has steered NSU athletics to many of its greatest accomplishments while overseeing a program that has fielded championship caliber teams in a dozen of the school’s 14 NCAA Division I sports. Highlights in Burke’s two decades as athletic director include 41 Southland Conference regular-season or tournament championships, 68 All-America and Academic All-America student athletes, and three U.S. Olympic competitors. Twenty-five NSU teams have taken part in NCAA or other postseason competition. All of the school’s athletic facilities have undergone over $7 million in improvements in the past few years, with another $1 million of enhancements to Turpin Stadium’s video board and sound system due before the 2017 home opener. Burke spearheaded a $2 million series of sponsorships for new scoreboards installed for 2008-09 at all NSU athletic venues; the $700,000 Second Century Circle fencing project for athletic venues; a $500,000 softball grandstand project; and a $600,000 upgrade of chairback seating at Turpin Stadium for the 2016 football season. Fundraising initiatives reached new levels in 2015-16. Formalizing the endowed giving program, branded as “Perpetually Purple,” generated an influx of over $100,000, while overall revenue generated by donations and sponsorships cracked $2 million. Competitively, milestones continue. One of the biggest under Burke: NSU in 2004-05 became the first (and remains the only) Southland Conference member in the league’s five decades of history to sweep football, men’s basketball and baseball championships in the same athletic year. It’s been done only once in Southeastern Conference history, by Alabama in 1933-34, and only four times in Big Ten Conference history, the last time by Michigan State in 1979-80. Those accomplishments have come with one of the more modest athletic budgets in the state and conference. Burke’s management skill and fundraising ability have been pivotal. Burke has a remarkable ability to hire dynamic head coaches. Anchors of the department are current head coaches Mike McConathy, Louisiana’s all-time career basketball wins leader; softball coach Donald Pickett, and track and field coach Mike Heimerman, a trio with nearly 50 combined years on staff at NSU. Three former student-athletes in Burke’s tenure have become NSU head coaches, including second-year baseball coach Bobby Barbier. Numerous Burke hires had great success at Northwestern State that propelled them to national prominence in subsequent positions. Former baseball coach John Cohen is beginning his first full year as AD at Mississippi State. Over 100 more former NSU student-athletes, coaches and support staff members, most of them here with Burke as AD or assistant AD (1986-92), are working in college athletics at some level. Former Demons are head coaches in the SEC, Big XII, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, Ohio Valley, SWAC, and Southland Conference. Five others hold Associate AD positions in the SEC, PAC 12, and American Athletic conferences.

LADY DEMON DIAMOND Since the renovated Lady Demon Diamond opened in before the 2013 season, Northwestern State softball has felt right at home. Over the past four seasons, the Lady Demons have posted a 68-35 record at home, including a 45-25 record in Southland Conference play. NSU won the SLC Tournament in its friendly confines, and the Lady Demons rarely lose a home series. The 1,000-seat stadium has a distance of 196 feet to its left- and right-field foul poles and 218 feet to center field. In Nov. 2012, The Diamond underwent a $466,000 renovation including the the construction of a partially covered grandstand featuring chairback seating. A new press box and concession stand were built. That initiative was the latest in a series of facilities improvements that included new Outfield Club seating, a refurbished club house and locker room, a new ticket booth, a new entrance and an outfield fence, backstop and netting.
